Request for Question Clarification by bobbie7-ga on 28 Aug 2002 21:28 PDT

Hi

I located the Share of Total Online Sales by Category.
This chart has 10 categories and is for the year 2001 divided into
quarters. Would this be acceptable as an answer?

Thanks

I couldn't find any specific lists for you. But I could find some
information that could lead you to what you are looking for. I hope
this information can help you a little bit.

Best of luck in your search, and if you do find some good information,
could you please share it here? I find this concept interesting as
well.

Thank you.
